The Lakers are back on track. Or are they? The Timberwolves still have their number. Or do they? Now that it's a best-of-three, which is it? This series will come down to a test of wills. Or not. There's only one sure way to find out: Read Page 2's Charley Rosen.

Toon In Fandemonium
Sure, Major League Baseball can add security personnel in every ballpark, but is that really going to stop the madness? Will that keep fans from attacking people on the field? Page 2 has some better ideas, and our new animated cartoon, "Illegal Motion," is just the thing to bring them to life.
Page 2's Brian Murphy says it isn't enough anymore just to go to a ballgame. Now you've got to be part of a Fan Club. In Atlanta, it's Sheff's Chefs, in Philly, you're nobody until you're wearing Randy's were-Wolf mask. But what do you do when Vicente Padilla is on the mound?

THE DAILY QUICKIE
It was a Brave new World for the T-Wolves, at least before Sunday. The Daily Quickie hopes they enjoyed it while it lasted. Minnesota shouldn't feel slighted, though, because Page 2 doesn't discriminate when it comes to bulletin-board fodder. (Pay attention, Ottawa.)

NHL playoff hockey. Sudden-death overtime. Sometimes, slow-death overtime, like when the Ducks beat the Stars in the fourth-longest game in NHL history last week. Lots of great playoff games have gone long. So we give you … Page 2's list of the greatest NHL playoff overtime games of all time . Vote on which one you think goes the distance.
10]  Boston Bruins 4, St. Louis Blues 3 (Stanley Cup finals, Game 4, 1970, one OT)
Bobby Orr scored 40 seconds into OT to complete the Bruins sweep of the Blues producing one of the greatest sports photos of all time.
9]  N.Y. Islanders 3, Washington Capitals 2 (Patrick Division semifinals, Game 7, April 18, 1987, four OTs)
The Caps had the home ice advantage --a loud, sellout crowd of 18,130 -- but New York goalie Kelly Hrudey and the offense of Bryan Trottier were too much for Washington to handle.
8]  L.A. Kings 6, Edmonton Oilers 5 (Smythe Division semifinals, Game 3, April 10, 1982, one OT)
The Oilers led 5-0 after two periods, but in the third period, the lowly Kings -- they'd finished the season with a 24-41-15 record -- caught fire, scoring five goals, including one with five seconds left, to send the game into OT. The rest in history.
